Brilliant letting one of Scott Pioli's henchmen have his own team to ruin. One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makes three facepalm moves for every good one. Awesome. Just like handing a new Mercedes to a 16 year old girl who's already been in three wrecks.

Considering how much the top teams kept consistently losing and moving back and forth out of the top 3/top 5, I think we're gonna see total chaos this year and some team like UConn (4 seed) the other year or Butler those 2 years they went will end up in the finals. No way we see all 1s and 2s in the final 4 IMO.

I don't know if I see anyone below the four line that has a special player/team to carry them deep into the tourney.

Creighton has McDermott, but they'd have to get through Duke, Michigan State and possibly Louisville to get to a Final Four.

Wisconsin has beaten both Indiana and Michigan twice this year so they've proven they can play with the big boys, but their offense is too inconsistent to project a deep run.

Butler doesn't have a Matt Howard or Gordon Hayward on this year's squad, and I think they'll have a hard enough time getting past Bucknell.

VCU possibly has the greatest chance of anyone, but beating Michigan in Auburn Hills and then following that up with a win against Kansas is something I can't see the current Smart squad doing.

Of course most of the surprising runs really come out of nowhere, but I don't see any recipe of talent on the lower seeds to brew up a deep run.

I see a bunch of upsets, not necessarily any one small team plowing through. There is bound to be a George Mason/VCU/Butler type team, there usually is. But I don't see Gonzaga going far at all, Indiana keeps tripping up and is bound to get upset before they reach the final four IMO...Florida is ripe for an upset too, they seem to get a lot of love. Ohio State isn't a good shooting team and someone like New Mexico or Wisconsin could emerge from the West. Duke, Michigan, and Georgetown are teams I see as sure things to lose before the final four too.

I could see Louisville and Miami holding on, MAYBE Indiana finally puts it together and makes it out of their bracket, but I really think that we will see one 1-seed and one 2-seed maybe, with the rest being 3 or below in the final four. There are no elite teams this year, and all the top "good" teams keep getting upset throughout the season like we've never seen before, expect chaos this year with so little seperation in quality between the 1s and the 3/4 seeds.

my lowest final four seed is 5 (VCU)... I have Kansas losing to UNC and the Heels going down to VCU. Florida vs VCU in the elite eight with VCU moving on because Florida looked miserable against the press against Ole Miss and we have guards that aren't particularly good decision makers

I'm rolling with Florida to the elite 8 but have them losing to Kansas.

I stared at Kansas-UNC for a little but I couldn't convince myself that UNC could play with them for 40 minutes.

I think the small UNC lineup can play with anyone for 40 minutes. they play a lot like ISU (ok, not THAT many 3's) but are much better on the offensive glass and the Cyclones gave Kansas a ton of trouble this season

I think the "chaos" will be that the good seeds actually play up to their spots, and they won't lose as much as some are expecting.

I think Kansas and Miami are the most vulnerable highly seeded teams which is why I have both making early exits. I also think New Mexico is WAY over-seeded. they seem very similar to Wisconsin... but not as good

New Mexico isn't as good as Wisconsin? I love what this Badger team has been able to do this year without Josh Gasser, but they're not nearly as talented as teams they've had recently.
